Achievement Medals

An achievement medal is a disc, typically made of metal and the size of a large coin. It usually has an inscription or design to commemorate an event or is awarded as a distinction to someone such as a soldier or athlete. In this lesson, students will design an achievement medal based on a theme of their choice before manufacturing the medal using a 3D printer.
